Why should I care what Numpy is written in? All I see is Python.
Are you not satisfied with NumPy and associated tools?
Which libraries would you recommend for production use instead of numpy?
why are so many array programming alternatives to numpy/scipy popping up recently? Is there a fundamental flaw or showstopper in numpy?
Who's the numpy competitor? Are we suffuring due to lack of one?
PyPy still doesn't work with Numpy, though they're working on it.
Just wait for Numpy on PyPy to be available :)
What does this offer me that Numpy doesn't already offer, with the advantage of not having to learn a new language?
CPython has numpy which rocks for number crunching.
Everyone interoperates with numpy arrays for computational stuff. Wouldn't have been any better if it was in the standard library.
